We have forgiveness of sins through God’s grace

“In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace,” Ephesians 1:7 (NLT).

Commentary: The hymn “Nothing but the blood of Jesus” constantly reminds us that all our sins have been washed away by the blood of Jesus. This eternal redemption comes into fulfilment through the grace of God bestowed on us by virtue of Christ’s great sacrifice on the cross of calvary.

As Jesus Christ used to tell people: “Go and sin no more!“. This is eternally applicable to us as well. Therefore, let’s rejoice in God’s unmerited favor displayed towards us.

Prayers: May the blood of Jesus Christ shed for our redemption remain ever powerful in our lives.

Pursue peace with everyone

“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord,” Hebrews 12:14 (NIV)

Commentary: As believers we are encouraged to do everything within our power to live in peace with the other people. Jesus Christ admonished his disciples to be harmless. In Matthew 10:16, Jesus said, “Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves,” (NLT). This entails that we should avoid losing our cool or temper when, in actual fact, God has endowed us with the gentle spirit of a dove.

Prayers: May the peace of God reign over the earth.

Stand fast in God’s true grace

“With the help of Silas, whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it,” 1 Peter 5:12 (NIV).

Commentary: God’s grace is an unmerited favor, which means we do not have it because of our good works or self-imposed holiness. God just gives us His grace because He genuinely loves us. He wants us to be happy, fulfilled, and righteous. Our duty is to be forever grateful to God for this show of unmerited kindness. We can do this by loving one another dearly, because Jesus Christ said, ‘the most important commandment I will give you is: “Love ye one another!” ‘

Prayers: May Your grace abound in our lives and be reflected in everything we do, O Lord.

Nothing is too hard for God

Nothing is hard for God

““I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27 (NIV)

Most of the time we struggle when we count solely on our knowledge and capability. The Almighty God has solutions to all our problems if only we can acknowledge Him in each and every step we take towards achieving our life goals.

Prayers: May Your great power crush any challenges the enemies might have put in our ways, O Lord.

True love encompasses several positive attributes, such as being our brothers’ keeper, avoiding hurting others, helping those who are in need, and spreading the Gospel of peace.

Give thanks to the Lord on all occasions

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven,” they replied.

6He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. 7They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 8The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away,” Mark 8:5-9 (NIV).
